Hua Xiaolou sighed, "I'll just take it one day at a time. I'm already very content that I was able to get into university and meet so many classmates."
After he finished speaking, he smiled sadly, beautiful yet tragic. His frail body looked as if he had entered his twilight years, making it hard for anyone to bear to look at him. Ye Qingqing felt even worse.
"If you trust me, I can give you acupuncture. Although it can't cure your heart ailment, it can prolong your life."
Ye Qingqing offered her suggestion, not entirely out of sympathy, but primarily for the sake of learning.
Hua Xiaolou's heart ailment is different from Ye Lan's; the affected areas are different. Ye Qingqing had studied Ye Lan's condition, and now that she has encountered Hua Xiaolou, she naturally became interested and wanted to practice on Hua Xiaolou to improve her medical skills.
Hua Xiaolou looked at her in disbelief, and said timidly, "I...I definitely believe you. Your medical skills are even better than the old Chinese medicine doctor in my village...but...but..."
"But what?"
Hua Xiaolou lowered her head in embarrassment, her voice barely audible, "I...I don't have the money to pay for medical expenses."
Ye Qingqing chuckled, "No money needed, I'll treat you for free. To be honest, I'm very interested in your illness, and I'm treating you to practice my skills. You definitely don't need to pay anything; we'll each get what we need."
"Okay... thank you."
Hua Xiaolou was very grateful. The two talked in hushed tones, standing quite close to each other. To others, it looked like two beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, whispering to each other, a very pleasing sight.
Ye Qingqing quickly returned to stand at attention. Although Hua Xiaolou wanted to come back, the instructor refused, only letting him rest under the tree. The instructor was genuinely worried that someone might die.
In fact, someone like Hua Xiaolou could have applied for exemption from military training, but she simply didn't want to ask for leave.
Another day of military training ended, and Ye Qingqing was so tired that her legs felt like they were about to break. She didn't want to experience military life again at all. The instructor said that their current training volume was just a drop in the ocean compared to that of the army, which showed how hard the soldiers in the army worked.
Ye Qingqing felt sorry for her man for a second.
"There are only twelve days left until I can escape this sea of suffering. May the Bodhisattva bless me so that this time will pass quickly!"
Back in the temporary dormitory, everyone collapsed onto their beds, exhausted. Sun Yurong exclaimed dramatically that after half a month of military training, her once fair skin had turned as dark as charcoal, making her look like a country girl.
The other female students also groaned. The dormitory for military training was a large room, and all twelve girls in the second clinical class were in one room.
Only four people in the entire dormitory did not complain: Ye Qingqing, Ruan Yingzi, Lü Ziqun, and Qian Manduo.
Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi didn't feel too tired. Although Lü Ziqun was also tired, she had to set an example and not complain because of a little bit of hardship!
Qian Manduo didn't feel bitter at all. Compared to the heavy farm work in the countryside, what was this little bit of hardship?
She felt that even standing for another two hours wouldn't be a problem, as long as she could have enough to eat, she wasn't afraid of any hardship.
"Let's eat."
Ruan Yingzi took out her rice bowl, yelled at Ye Qingqing, and handed the bowl to Qian Manduo, "Manduo, can you get my food back for me? Same as always!"
"Okay!"
Qian Manduo silently took Ruan Yingzi's rice bowl and a stack of meal tickets. Meal cards couldn't be used here; everyone had to buy meal tickets.
"Qingqing, let's go take a shower together. Let Manduo get our food," Ruan Yingzi said.
Ruan Yingzi took a change of clothes, as well as shampoo and shower gel.
Ye Qingqing felt embarrassed to ask her classmate for help and was about to refuse Ruan Yingzi when Qian Manduo offered, "I'll help you with it, it's nothing."
